Chapter 21 Adelie POV Convincing Asher to go apologize to Cynthia yesterday wasn't an easy task, but I'm glad that he eventually agreed. They may start dating anytime soon because I will make sure of that. Staring out through the window of my office, I sigh briefly and check my wristwatch for the sixth time, wondering why Cynthia is not yet in the office at this time. We always come here at the same time, but Asher went to see her today, so I was expecting her to get to the office real quick since he will be dropping her off. Well, don't bother racking your brain how I knew about that, because I planned everything. After the incident that day, Cynthia has refused to answer my calls, and although I have been there a couple of times to see her, she never wanted to see me as she kept avoiding me. She even went as far as taking a few days off from work. I know I shouldn't have persuaded Asher, knowing that whatever he said to her didn't come from his mind, but I can't allo

Chapter 23 Adelie POV "Wh...what... How did you get here?" I stutter as I stare at him, and sit up on the bed before he shrugs. "I got home pretty fast. Like five minutes before you arrive. I decided to wait for you in your room. Did I startle you? I'm sorry about that, sweetheart," He smirks at me, and I gulp down nothing nervously. "What are you doing in my room?" I ask him as I step back fearfully, but he only scoffs and stands up to his feet. "What am I doing here? Is anything wrong with coming to my sister's room?" He asks me, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips, and I bite my lip. "Uhm... Can you leave? I need to change my cloth," I say to him. "No... Go ahead and change your clothes... I'm not looking," He utters before he giggles softly. "My bad! I may decide to look at my sister's sexy body later. You can't really blame me for that, can you? I mean, you would also look if you were in my shoes, right?" He scrutinizes me with his eyes, biti

Chapter 25 Cynthia POV "Does this look good?" I ask Adelie for the tenth time, as I show her the red silver gown I just picked from the hanger. We are presently in the most beautiful mall in the town. "You've asked that like a million times already. Don't you get tired?" She whines frustratingly as she raises her gaze to look at me. She has been sitting on the bench and pressing her phone since we came here. For goodness sake, I brought her to help me choose a dress for the date, and not to press her phone. I'm so pissed right now. "Can you just drop your phone and let's do this fast?" I snap at her, and she finally stands up sluggishly as she rolls her eyes at me. We pick a few clothes and finally head to the cashier, where we make the payment before we finally leave the mall. "I'm just going to drop you off at home, and head home after," She says to me as we both hop in her car, and I smile at her. She's going to be my sister-in-law soon, and I can't be any l

Chapter 27 Adelie POV I pace restlessly in the living room. It's almost midnight, and Asher is not home yet, nor pick up my calls. I'm not worried about him, but Cynthia. I can't possibly be fine, knowing that my best friend is with my despicable brother at this hour of the night, right? What if he does something crazy to Cynthia? What if he forces himself on her? I won't ever forgive myself, knowing that I pushed him to do this, just to please my innocent friend. Slumping on the couch, I dial his number for the umpteenth time, and as expected, he didn't answer the call. "Shit!" I curse under my breath as I scroll through my phone, and finally dial Cynthia's number. I have been scared of calling her, but I don't think I should hold back anymore. I have to make sure she's fine. Luckily, she answers the phone on the first ring. "Hey, Adelie," Her cheerful voice sounds from the other end, and I heave a sigh of relief. "Cynthia, you're ok? Where's Asher? I've been

Chapter 29Adelie POVI spent the whole day at Raymond's house, and I also plan to spend the night there, since we'll be attending a party together tonight.Sitting in front of the mirror, the door creaks open, and Raymond walks in with a smile playing on his lips."Did I disturb you?" He asks as he comes to stand behind me, tucking my hair behind me as he leans forward and pecks my neck."No, you didn't," I reply to him after he pulls away, and he slowly nods his head. His hands are still on my shoulders, and with admiration on his face."You are gorgeous," He says for the umpteenth time, and I blush hard. He never ceases to tell me how gorgeous I am, and that only makes me fall more and more for him. Did I forget to talk about everyone in his family? Well, they are all fun to be with, especially his mom. I was thinking she won't like me, but she loves me and also thinks that I'm good for her son, which I'm glad about."Thank you," I blush hard, and he giggles softly."You look cute
